Abstract

Modular collector panels are adapted for flush or recessed mounting on a pitched roof, or may be installed on a flat roof by means of a mounting frame, the panel sections being interconnected in side-by-side relation to one another by a unique form of side and end wall connector assembly which serves to interconnect the panels in sealed relation to one another to the roof or other housing as well as to support and house the component parts of the panel section including the glazing, absorber plate and insulating layer in unitary relation to one another.
